+====== Media Richness ======
+  * Richness determined by:
+    * Bandwidth or ability to transmit multiple cues
+    * Ability to give immediate feedback
+    * Ability to support the use of natural or conversational language
+    * Its personal focus (Thurlow 49)
+  * More complex the task the richer the medium necessary (rich medium = telephone or FtF communication)
