I am going to be pedantic as i am perfectly aware that you do not mean it this way but here we go:

> Security can depend on social contract and not technology.

Social contracts are technology, laws are technology, law as a concept is technology, Society is technology.

If you really want to be pedantic, you should recognize there is a difference between technology as implemented (the social contract as it's implemented now) and choice of technology (all the different ways how the social contract could be different, reflecting history and geography).
