Are Year 9 Laptops Useless?

This story in today's Illawarra Mercury is interesting.

Are the laptops rolled out to Year 9 students in NSW of no real use? Any laptop is obviously better than none, but if it's not possible to install useful software or peripherals on them, then just how much use are they? Access to websites is a tricky thing, of course. Take a site like the photo-hosting site Flickr. As a source of useful pictures for school projects its benefits cannot be denied. But there's also images there that are unsuitable even for your average Year 9 student. How do you allow acces to one but block the other? Or do you just block the site altogether?

It's a tricky problem. What do you think?
