There are always a lot of websites on the market that use the word "future" inside their domain name, but are they really futurist type websites? It is preferred often by print publishers and editors that the word "future" is an excellent word to used in titles, because 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 think they are.
Recently, an editor of another of things type website asked me to write a column, in reviewing the web site I found it to be underwhelming on the futuristic side of things, and more heavy into 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 today? - asked myself.

It looks like they're seriously interested in scientific discovery that's already happened, not what will take the future. That's just boring, more science news, regurgitation, typical human tactic of re-packaging information. I think they could do better, but are holding themselves back, afraid to produce people think, worried you will get too much from your mainstream, quote "core" number of viewers, which I think they cannot even understand.
Obviously, as an entrepreneur, I am aware precisely why they get it done this way. It is basically because they wish to make money and thus sink to a lesser degree of readership, while still pretending to speak about the future of stuff. Once the editor wished to guard such comments, the indication was that the site was mostly about scientific news.
Yes, I realize that the site is mainly a news site and I ask what does which have to do with the future of stuff? Shouldn't the web site be called NSIN.com or something that way; for New Science Innovation News? If the site is about Science News and is an accumulation everyone else's news, then it is just a copy site of a category that's already getting 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 can be nice, still what's the worth to a "science news junky" as you will find very few articles on the webpage compared using their competition?
If they called their selves a news site, then you may have "futurist type columnists" anyway, who might project these scientific news items into the future or they might keep the "Future Stuff" motif and promote the futurist columnists.
This should be a training to any or all "Futuristic" type websites as an incident study. If you take the future thinkers to your website and have nothing to exhibit them, they'll leave. If you are using trickery to have regular readers there, you are doing a serious disservice to the future of mankind, by promoting present inventions because the be all end all. Either way, it is unethical to make use of this tactic on future of things type websites.
