1. old inventions were famous, the talk of the Town! and absolutely needed, new ones are for the sake of competetion and correcting the mistakes of other inventions.
2. It isn't a question of which are better, in my opinion but the difference behind their creation. Often the inventors of new inventions are just improving the old ones. While this does require creativity, the ability to solve problems with the old, and improving them it is still an improvement on an item that had already been created in the past. On the other hand, improvements require using knowledge that was not always available in the past or the creativity of a younger, and more knowledgeable person considering how the knowledge base of the world has grown and increased since the original creation. On the whole, the adage that "newer is better" can be said to be true. gatita_63109
