When people are talking about cyber weapons, digital weapons, what they really mean is a malicious program that's used for a military purpose. A cyber weapon could be something as simple as an old virus from 1995 that just happens to still be effective if you use it for that purpose.
I admire writers who can make complicated things simple, but my own talent has been to make simple things complicated.
The personal computer was a disruptive innovation relative to the mainframe because it enabled even a poor fool like me to have a computer and use it, and it was enabled by the development of the micro processor. The micro processor made it so simple to design and build a computer that IB could throw in together in a garage.

It then becomes an innovation when the technology is embedded in a different business model that can take the simplified solution to the market in a cost-effective way.
