It has been explained how the extended family is shattered and how it terrifically affects the young generation. The paper also explores how the family and the society are spoiled. It tends to create awareness in the young minds towards the proper use of mobile phones and to safeguard the values and virtues of our community in the family, a minor unit of society.
