There are a large amount of websites available that utilize the word "future" inside their domain name, but are they really futurist type websites? It is recommended often by print publishers and editors that the phrase "future" is a great word to use within titles, because it grabs people's attention. But, when people utilize the word future and then do not give predictions or future accounts, then are they really deceiving the viewer and web-surfer. I think they are.
Recently, an editor of the next of things type website asked me to create a column, however in reviewing the website I came across it to be underwhelming on the futuristic side, 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 current period or happening right now? - asked myself.

It seems like they are seriously interested in scientific discovery that has already happened, not what'll maintain the future. That is 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 make people think, worried you will get too much from your mainstream, quote "core" band of viewers, which I think they do not even understand.
Of course, as an entrepreneur, I know exactly why they do it this way. It is really because they wish to generate income and thus sink to a diminished degree of readership, while still pretending to fairly share the continuing future of stuff. Once the editor wished to defend such comments, the indication was that the site was mostly about scientific news.
Yes, I notice that the site is mainly a news site and I ask what does that have related to the continuing future of stuff? Shouldn't the website 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 really a copy site of a variety that is already being used and not unique. Thus, the content is therefore the exact same, so even when the articles are written more clearly and easier to comprehend, which will be nice, still what's the value to a "science news junky" as there are very few articles on the webpage compared making use of their competition?
When 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 may keep carefully the "Future Stuff" motif and promote the futurist columnists.
This would be a training to any or all "Futuristic" type websites as an instance study. If you take the long run thinkers to your website and have nothing to exhibit them, they will leave. If you are using trickery to obtain regular readers there, you are doing an extreme disservice to the continuing future of mankind, by promoting present inventions while the be all end all. Either way, it is unethical to make use of this tactic on future of things type websites.
