New media is being created all the time, and the current forms need to be recorded for the future. DVD's are a good example of how new media is currently expressed to the general public. DVD's can be played on computers and on televisions with a DVD player. I think pop-up ads are also a good example of new media, as well as weather bug which constantly updates itself with changeing weather conditions and alerts. You simply enter in your address and weather bug keeps you informed with your local weather conditions and forcasts. The different days in the future that it gives the forcast for are examples of modules. The data is numerically represented as is everything on computers.

WeatherBug and similar weather stuff are the most interesting of these; I don't use the former because I don't use Windows, but I do use a variety of cool weather stuff on other computers, and modularity is almost always one of their central components.
