Tech lock out or human stupidity

There's a story about a girl that bought a notebook with linux pre-installed and that kept her going back to school via online classes. I'm not going to comment this as there are many forums with pros and cons.
But, are we really so stupid that if something changes then we fail to ask somebody to help? In that story there were no technical issues that would stop her school activities. It was like failing some test because I got a pen to use instead of a pencil.

Is this story true or fake? Anyway it points out the problem of marketing based education. Many people don't even think that there could be alternatives that do the same.

:-S
