I'd personally put him on a less-luddite island. The people there are there because they completely shun all technology on principal, anyone who didn't really follow those views wouldn't have stayed long, since Polar is rather militant about what gets through. Which also means he couldn't miss or desire what he was never exposed to. It is more likely that his parents visited other islands, perhaps looking to move if Polar's stranglehold on technology was starting to get a little to radical for them and wanting a better place for their son. The fascination could have started during one such trip.
