The world lives with mediocrity because making greatness is hard, so we muddle through. Nobody looks to reinvent the wheel, so it never gets reinvented.
How do things work? How could they be better?
How can we leverage technologies like AI, Blockchain, Augmentation, and QR to improve our lives? These are tools we should use for our benefit, not for our demise.
The mission statement at HTC is short and simple “Stories that guide and serve”. It doesn’t take much exploration to unearth a good story. Explore your local area, and you’ll naturally uncover stories of the past, present, and future. Stories take you to other realities, to space, the deep sea, and beyond.
Stories allow the Author to make up things and blur the line; it’s a safe space to explore how things could work without the need to satisfy currently technological limitations or even the laws of physics – Peter Pan would not have been a great story with gravity.
Kevin: As a founder and owner being curious about many things is important. you’ll find answers in the most unlikely places.

Whats the story?
HTC (How to Company) was born out of curiosity, perfect motivation for a Research and Development company.
A story in HTC land is a story as defined in the XYZ System. If you aren’t familiar with the XYZ System it’s just a system of organisation, a story is a basic 1 unit of research – a ‘Story’ similar to that defined like in Agile. So research starts out in HTC as a story. When some stories get big they become Epics. Currently HTC Has 1 Epic – Navigator, and many many stories.
This section of the website called stories is a blog, collection of posts – stories I’m interested in; How can we leverage technologies like AI, Blockchain, Augmentation, and QR to improve our lives? How can they be used in the other Xologies like ecology and anthropology.
