...you have an email account.

My wife being a high school teacher and all keeps me pretty well updated on what kids of that age group find cool and are embracing from a technology perspective.  Check out this story told to me by a peer of hers:

Teacher - "Johnny I asked you yesterday to email me a soft copy of your term paper. Why didn't you send it to me. Final grades are due today and I need the soft copy to complete my assessment of your work."

Johnny - "Email? I don't have an email address."

Teacher - "What? How can you not have an email address?"

Johnny (not answering the question) - "Email his how my parents communicate."
