Just like with many things in life, there is more than one way to reach the objective. Sometimes you want the most efficient route to the end point, other times you may prefer to enjoy how you get to your destination--possibly more than the destination itself.
You can choose an automatic or manual transmission for your car, a heat-and-eat prepared meal or homecooked for your dinner, to drive or walk to your destination, to hand write a letter to a friend or type them an email, or to wear a quartz or mechanical watch.
So is any one of these choices always better? No. Each is more suitable for some circumstances than the other. In all these cases, technology has provided "improvements" that are alternatives to the older way of doing things. But none of these improvements are *so* good that they completely replaced the old way.
Sure, there are some things in life that newer technologies did TOTALLY replace. We no longer use carrier pigeons to send messages or start automobiles with a big crank on the front. But most technologies--especially in the field of consumer timekeeping--are no where near as dramatic in the improvements they offer.
