What we learned:

What is the difference between digital evidence and physical evidence for investigators ?

Digital evidence always requires active interpretation because it is an abstract series of electrical symbols. Because of this, the interpretation is very important but very difficult. Unlike physical evidence, it can be tested and analyzed indefinitely because it can be copied perfectly, and the accuracy of copies can be verified with hashes.
