Not necessarily. While the implications of ethical principles might require more elaboration, I don't think that the governing ethical principles themselves become more elaborate.
Also, I feel I'd better clarify something now, before I get taken to task for it. I am not saying that technological societies are more ethical. I am just stating tendencies, and the tendency is for technological progress to force a society to examine its ethics.
Certainly one could present examples of societies or civilizations in history that had highly refined ethical systems, despite having less technological development than their neighbors. In general though I'm not sure this has been the rule.
