      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.

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.
