New media are characterized by collaboration, creativity, convergence and communication. An access to and use of the Internet have become a normal aspect of everyday life in the world and it is continuously improving the way of communication in society.

Social networks are used widely in all aspects of our life. For example: Networking became a critical skill in the job search process. Thousands of jobs are now listed daily over the Internet. Internet is so called "door - opener" and it's hard to imagine our life without it. To continue on the above idea - we also have "Linked in", where you have an opportunity to present yourself to a very professional environment, make connections, and put your foot in the door by making a good impression and get recommendations.

In conclusion, it is not a surprise that new media are replacing old media, however we also need to remember of the fact that " the old media were once new".
