Something new that I'm not fond of? Hmmm, well do I have enough room to write a 25 page essay here? 😁
Okay fine, I'll pick my biggest pet peeve.
I suppose hilariously enough that my answer would be the Internet. It's a double-edged sword really.
You can either use it in wonderful mind-expanding ways such as research, connecting to new friends and family, continuing an education online, or even running a business from home.
Or you could use it in bad ways, which is not good for your emotional and mental health. You could become addicted to video games and hardcore pornography. You could find support for unhealthy warped views, such as self-harm, eating disorders, suicide, etc.
I've read a lot of stories about lonely people being sucked into things they would have never considered before, just because they joined the wrong group/forum on the Internet. It doesn't take long for something that you once considered taboo to become your new "normal"...and that's scary. 😐

@PavlovsPuppy Interesting that you would choose video games and pornography. I won’t try to defend them because those are very real things, but I will say addictions come in all shapes and sizes.
I do agree with the internet as a whole. Especially the accessibility aspect for our youth. It hurts to watch them endure abusive friendships because their adhd attention cravings are so easy to satisfy.
Someone disagrees with you? Move on to the next person. Don’t like the way someone talks? Next. Bored? Oh hey here’s someone new.
