Dear teachers:
Knowmation, as the integration of knowledge and information, has both the depth and systematization of knowledge and the swiftness and timeliness of information. (from my electronic dictionary)
Would you tell me what kinds of knowledge or information could be called "knowmation"?
Thanks. |

| Thanks. Does "infotainment" mean a product that is both educational and entertaining? |

It could be educational, but not necessarily. It could be simply informative. Infotainment gives information in an entertaining way. And it doesn't have to be important information. TV shows that talk about movies and celebrities are a form of infotainment.
The entertainment industry has many such blended words, e.g.:
infomercial
docu-drama |
