I think it's also important to remember more specifically in the realm of quality that computers are not the answer to every problem. They're extremely complex electronics that can have bugs anywhere in the stack from hardware to software, and are bound by certain constraints that physical media are not (for example, the availability of electricity, or lack of harmful interference).

Sometimes I don't need to remember everything I've drawn on a whiteboard. And what's more, if I'm using a smart board that reboots in the middle of brainstorming, I'm thrown majorly off my groove and it may take a long time to recover my train of thought after troubleshooting.

So the complexity affords tremendous flexibility, but unavoidably at the cost of reliability.
