Seattle, WA (prHWY.com) July 26, 2012 - When machines were first invented it was a common occurrence for factory owners and machine manufacturers to hold man versus machine matches. People for miles around would gather to see who could work faster a machine or human, but unfortunately matches like these have slowly become a lost art form - until now.

A manufacturer of e-discovery software programs has decided to take up the old David versus Goliath matches of old and bring them into the 21st century. Find It Now Software, a manufacturer of e-discovery software is traveling the nation holding competitions against interns and students.

"Most e-discovery software is used by lawyers, doctors and researchers", said marketing director, Sammy Thomas for Find It Now Software. "We are traveling the nation in an effort to see if there is any human alive who can beat our software program when it comes to finding information."

The "Man vs. Machine Challenge 2012" is scheduled to travel to over 50 cities over the span of 4 months. The challenge will be held at malls and colleges all across the nation. Each stop will offer 100 lucky people the change to go up against Find It Now Software's latest and greatest technology.

"We thought this would be a great marketing tool for our new product", said Thomas. "It gets people involved and really generates a buzz about our product. In an effort to sweeten the pot a little we are offering the winner of the contest a prize that can't be resisted."

There are several different prizes being offered at this "Man vs. Machine Challenge 2012". The top 10 people with the fastest finding time over the 50 stops on the tour will get a $5,000 college scholarship to a college of their choice. In the event that a human actually finds all the information faster than a machine, that person will receive a $40,000 college scholarship to a college of their choice.

"We are so confident that our software program is faster than any human that we are offering such a great prize to encourage people to try out", said Thomas. "We so far have at least 50 contestants for each city so this should be exciting."

The excitement for a program of this caliber has never been seen before. Students are all abuzz about this challenge.

"My friends and I are stoked about this", said Steven Ribbons, a college freshmen. "We are training and testing each other to make sure we bring our A game. I want to beat that machine and win the prize! I know I can do it."
