      This is an interesting topic to think about - How often do teens read the manual?  I would say they tinker until the gadget serves its purpose and if they do have questions, they'll crowdsource via internet.  I doubt they would open up the manual.  
  • The advances in technology for consumers aren’t necessarily aimed at young people, but they tend to be the ones who embrace them first.

      Think of all the new jobs made necessary by the internet - now "Digital Estate Manager"
  • It starts with those terms-of-service agreements; the fine print of the online world. Once the “I agree” button is pressed, it’s as good as a contract.

      Does anyone really pay attention to these "terms of agreement"?  This could definitely be something we teach our students.  
  • 1986 Stored Communications Act, which prohibits anyone from accessing private information online without permission.

Stipulate what to do with your email accounts in a will, and read the terms-of-service agreements, so you can understand how or even if access to your accounts can be granted to someone else.
