There are always a lot of websites available that use the word "future" within their domain name, but are they really futurist type websites? It is advised often by print publishers and editors that the term "future" is a great word to used in titles, as it grabs people's attention. But, when people use the word future and then don't give predictions or future accounts, then are they really deceiving the viewer and web-surfer. I believe they are.
Recently, an editor of the next of things type website asked me to create a column, in reviewing the web site I came across it to be underwhelming on the futuristic side, and more heavy to the scientific news arena. Indeed, if the magazine is seriously interested in "The Future" then why are the articles about new scientific innovations in the present period or happening at this time? - asked myself.

It seems like they are seriously interested in 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 believe they could do better, but are holding themselves back, afraid to make people think, worried you will get too much from your own mainstream, quote "core" number of viewers, which I believe they do not even understand.
Needless to say, as an entrepreneur, I understand precisely why they take action this way. It is basically because they would like to make money and thus sink to less amount of readership, while still pretending to talk about the continuing future of stuff. When the editor wished to defend such comments, the indication was that the website was mostly about scientific news.
Yes, I notice that the website is certainly caused by a news site and I ask what does which have regarding the continuing future of stuff? Shouldn't the web site be called NSIN.com or something like that; for New Science Innovation News? If the website is about Science News and is an accumulation of everyone else's news, then it is a copy site of a style that is already being used and not unique. Thus, the information is therefore the same, so even when the articles are written more clearly and easier to comprehend, which is nice, still what's the value to a "science news junky" as there are not many articles on the website compared making use of their competition?
When they called them selves a news site, then you could have "futurist type columnists" anyway, who might project these scientific news items into the long run or they might keep carefully the "Future Stuff" motif and promote the futurist columnists.
This would be a training to all or any "Futuristic" type websites as an instance study. For the long run thinkers to your website and have nothing to exhibit them, they will leave. If you use trickery to get regular readers there, you are doing an extreme disservice to the continuing future of mankind, by promoting present inventions because the be all end all. Either way, it's unethical to utilize this tactic on future of things type websites.
