It was earlier reported through another  survey that Social Networking reduces the interest of teens  in studies. Now, the latest Survey reports  of  low and decreasing contacts and chats with family members.

The most reports from a family comes from  Women in the family  reporting that they are being ignored most of the time by the internet user of the family.

Gilbert added : “The family is our social foundation, society’s basic building block. We need to guard its health in what otherwise seems to be a boundless digital future.”
