Chapter 1
Shared Goals

The real problem is not
whether machines think but
whether men do.
-B.F. Skinner

Forensics and e-Discovery share a goal:
to locate digital evidence to support
investigations or fact discovery.

e-Discovery is content-based but digital
forensics focuses more on context.
e-Discovery helps inform the “what” of a
given scenario “when.”
