After the events of T1 Skynet was built much faster thanks to the severed hand of T-800. After realizing this, why didn't Skynet send more data/material into the past and make itself stronger rather then trying to kill the Connor family?
Answer
The Butterfly Effect states that the smallest change to an environment can have massive ramifications.
So, why did Skynet start mucking about with the timeline in the first place? Because it had lost, and it was desperate
In Terminator 1984 Kyle Reese says
It had no choice. Their defense grid was smashed. We'd won
The danger involved in sending back resources to make itself stronger are far too great. Due to chaos theory (butterfly effect) Skynet could inadvertently cause itself not to be created. It has a better chance of killing a nobody (Sarah/John) in the past and not affecting its own creation, as they don't become important until after Judgement Day
