If anything you likely have a tech related *advantage* that allows you to use obsolete stuff without the TL penalties, which the RAW don't handle well at all.

There's no TL penalty for using low tech stuff with low tech skills and there's no penalty to learning low tech skills. While a person who rejected high technology as an adult would have the normal defaults and any skills they acquired before rejecting it, a person who was raised by a community who rejected "modern" technology would possibly be low tech.
