I choose to focus on pupils in the western world because âliteracy and technologyâ is a subject more applicable to America, Great Britain or Scandinavia, than in developing countries.
The problem is: How do I say this without sounding like a racist? I mean, somehow I have to manage to say that I will only be writing about people from the western world, basically because modern technology is more used there than in "other places." How do I say this without sounding racist and/or patronizing?

You may want to mention other areas of the world with access to similar technologies that you won't be discussing, such as Japan.
