What part of the Constitution is inadequate for today's world?
If 3/5ths of the Country feel something needs to be added, taken out, or ammended, there is a process for that. The reason that changes have not been made to incorporate some of the suggestions mentioned is due to their controversial nature and the lack of support from an overwhelming majority of the population.
For what its worth, a new Constitutional Convention could well lead to a disaster of epic magnitude. Anything could be enacted, from making us Communist to instituting a Theocracy. There is nothing to say that the ratification process (determined by the same body that drafts the new document) would not be rigged in some way. Highly, highly dangerous....especially since any and all delegates would likely be partisan hacks of all flavors out to institute a narrow agenda, whatever 'We the People' want or don't want, or what's best for the nation.
