I think you're generalizing a bit much. Yes, computers were originally used for ballistic calculations, code-breaking, even. What's different now is that virtually every computer is connected to a world-wide network which is connected to physical things. That means you're no longer having a special-purpose computer assisting a specialized weapon. Instead you've opened up all sorts of mayhem and damage to anybody with a smartphone. An axe is also a weapon, but it's also the best thing we have to cut wood. Computers are moving into a similar role: things that have practical value which can also be very deadly. And any computer, with the right program/operator can inflict far more damage than an axe.
