> with no clear direction

Keep in mind that some of the most common _types_ of creative minds in tech will always work best without an idea of a clear direction.

IMO that's also part of what tech needs in order to be its best--a strong sense of connection with concepts of the unknown. Unknown direction, unknown status even. Definitely unknown solutions to problems that are becoming-known.

In such a state, "what direction are we going" isn't necessarily a helpful way of thinking about things. The question usually hints at the asker's way of thinking. Existential? Directional? Open? Focused? Etc.

Growth in general is change, and change is stress. Destruction can be a byproduct, but doesn't have to be.

I believe we are reaching the point where we integrate that kind of thinking more consciously. The resulting wording includes ideas like "deconstructing" which is a broad hint that new approaches are here.
