Bravura Films is probably best known for its merciless skewering of both the zealous hypesters and the equally passionate deprecators of the World Wide Web.

As hired guns for high-tech luminaries, Bob Kalsey and his posse of jesters have lampooned buffoons of every stripe. Techno-utopian optimists and fear-mongering Luddites are equal-opportunity targets of our zingers.

From the distant days of puffery about the impending birth of the "information superhighway" to the premature burial-by-disintermediation of "the world as we know it," we have spoken our mind in imagery and song.

Journey back with us, then, through a brief history of the World Wide Web -- as seen through the satirical videos of Bravura Films...
