There are a large amount of websites on the market that use the word "future" in their domain name, but are they really futurist type websites? It is preferred often by print publishers and editors that the phrase "future" is a good word to use in titles, as it grabs people's attention. But, when people use the word future and then do not give predictions or future accounts, then are they really deceiving the viewer and web-surfer. I believe they are.
Recently, an editor of a future of things type website asked me to write a column, but in reviewing the web site I discovered it to be underwhelming on the futuristic side of things, and more heavy to the scientific news arena. Indeed, if the magazine is serious about "The Future" then why are all the articles about new scientific innovations in the current period or happening today? - asked myself.

It looks like they are serious about scientific discovery that has already happened, not what will take the future. That is just boring, more science news, regurgitation, typical human tactic of re-packaging information. I do believe they can do better, but are holding themselves back, afraid to make people think, worried that you will get too much from your mainstream, quote "core" band of viewers, which I believe they don't even understand.
Obviously, being an entrepreneur, I understand exactly why they get it done this way. It is really because they wish to earn money and thus sink to a lowered degree of readership, while still pretending to talk about the ongoing future of stuff. Once the editor wished to protect such comments, the indication was that the website was mostly about scientific news.
Yes, I notice that the website is mostly a news site and I ask what does which have regarding the ongoing future of stuff? Shouldn't the web site be called NSIN.com or something like this; for New Science Innovation News? If the website is about Science News and is a collection of everyone else's news, then it is just a copy site of a genre that is already used and not unique. Thus, this content is therefore exactly the same, so even though the articles are written more clearly and easier to comprehend, which will be nice, still what is the worthiness to a "science news junky" as you will find hardly any articles on the internet site compared with their competition?
If they called themselves a news site, then you might have "futurist type columnists" anyway, who might project these scientific news items into the long run or they could keep the "Future Stuff" motif and promote the futurist columnists.
This will be a lesson to all "Futuristic" type websites as an instance study. If you take the long run thinkers to your website and have nothing to show them, they will leave. If you utilize trickery to obtain regular readers there, you are doing a severe disservice to the ongoing future of mankind, by promoting present inventions as the be all end all. In any event, it is unethical to utilize this tactic on future of things type websites.
