Someone who is good with technology/electronics -
Computer-literate
: (of a person) having sufficient knowledge and skill to be able to use computers; familiar with the operation of computers.

Computer-illiterate

You could also say -
Luddite

(Source 1)
(Source 2)

Removed tech-savvy as it appeared to be quite informal.
