There are a lot of websites on the market that utilize the word "future" in 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 in titles, since it grabs people's attention. But, when people utilize 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 publish a column, however in reviewing the web site I came across 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 typical the articles about new scientific innovations in today's period or happening right now? - asked myself.

It seems like they are serious about scientific discovery that has already happened, not what will maintain the future. That is just boring, more science news, regurgitation, typical human tactic of re-packaging information. I do believe they are able to do better, but are holding themselves back, afraid to create people think, worried that you will get too much from your mainstream, quote "core" group of viewers, which I think they do not even understand.
Of course, as an entrepreneur, I know precisely why they take action this way. It is basically because they want to generate income and thus sink to a diminished level of readership, while still pretending to share with you the future of stuff. When the editor wished to defend such comments, the indication was that the website was mostly about scientific news.
Yes, I realize that the website is mainly a news site and I ask what does that have related to the future of stuff? Shouldn't the web site be called NSIN.com or something that way; for New Science Innovation News? If the website is about Science News and is an accumulation of everyone else's news, then it is really a copy site of a category that is already getting used and not unique. Thus, this content is therefore the same, so even when the articles are written more clearly and easier to know, that will be nice, still what's the worthiness to a "science news junky" as you can find not many articles on the website compared with their competition?
If they called their selves a news site, then you might have "futurist type columnists" anyway, who might project these scientific news items into the near future or they may keep the "Future Stuff" motif and promote the futurist columnists.
This will be a training to all or any "Futuristic" type websites as a case study. For the near future thinkers to your website and have nothing showing them, they'll leave. If you utilize trickery to have regular readers there, you are doing a significant disservice to the future of mankind, by promoting present inventions as the be all end all. In either case, it's unethical to use this tactic on future of things type websites.
