John-Paul Dickie
I'm a 18 year-old student and a technology, media and news addict aspiring to be a journalist.
I take a keen interest in technology and gadgets, the goings on in the media world and I can't get enough of watching news channels and reading news websites.
I'm also a devoted Formula 1 fan.
