Techno-epistemic break - a change in the social structure of how we perceive information from the public sphere due to developing technologies that have altered how we view and perceive knowledge and think.

epistemic - of or relating to knowledge or knowing (Merriam-Webster)
techno - of or relating to technology  (Merriam-Webster)

Example: Passage from DeLuca and Peeples - "... although an historically and culturally understandable desire, the fondness for bodily presence and face-to-face conversations ignores the social and technological transformations of the 20th century that have constructed an altogether different cultural context, a techno-epistemic break" (187).

Example: Protest movement: Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech televised. This was a change from, say, twenty years before when protests did not reach audiences with the use of technology such as the television. It was only because of the technological progression and the invention of the television that people were able to perceive the protest through that particular media. And certainly, perceiving it in such a manner indeed altered the way people though about it and the methods people used to analyze it.
