The age of computers in battle that has unfolded over the past 70 years hasproved similar to earlier eras in military history, with these new informational
tools pointing to new practices. Today, computers serve not only to guide weapons and break codes but also to winnow vast amounts of battle-related information in the search for insight while facilitating lateral communications, or contact with fellow field units, not just with distant commanders. It is this super-empowerment of those who actually conduct the fighting that most distinguishes our era of informational advances from earlier ones.
