One pro and one con position on the statement "Why can't we simply ignore the computers, convert everything to paper by printing all the digital information relevent to a particular case onto paper and continue business as usual, treating electronic discovery just like paper discovery" is :

Pro: If we simply ignore the computers and convert everything to paper treating treating electronic industry just like paper discovery, there would be no virus or malware attacks on our computer and there would be no need to fear of getting our information stolen. Many times very sensitive information are targetted by these hackers and there is huge loss of money.

Cons: If we simple ignore the computers and convert everything to paper, the cons would be the speed and accuracy of doing a particular task would decrease drastically and so the productivity of the firm would also decrease. Computers also stores huge amounts of data in a very small place, whereas for paper industry, storing too much information would take up a huge space and also searching for a particular piece of information would become difficult in such cases.
