Abstract:Different from the previous studies that limited the influence of mediatechnology to virtual "public persona", this paper proposes the analytical concept of "self-video". Through the analysis of the image information and interview data of the live-alone youth, it is found that the live-alone youth are driven by internal and external factorsto mediate their daily lives and through the practices emphasised by self-technologies,which make possible the process of constructing lifestyles and transforming the selfthrough media technologies. As a result, the impact of media technology on youth lifeis not limited to "public image", but has transited to the remodeling of "ethical subject"and the transformation of real life style. Of course, self-video, as a new self-technology,is inseparable from the consciousness of the ethical subject and the attention to therelationship of "self and society". It is necessary to be alert to the decline of youth publicitycaused by excessive self-focus.
