I'm renovating an apartment from the 1970s. Should the wiring be upgraded?

Yes. Consider running 2 Cat6 ethernet cables to shared rooms such as Living room, and a single Cat6 to each bedroom. Terminate them in a location where you can add router and switches, and ensure there is an electrical outlet to power the necessary components.
Since you are asking here I'm assuming your question is with regards to just the telcom/network wiring.
If you are opening up the walls I recommend running CAT 6 ethernet cables to every room from wherever your services come in. Make sure you use cables that are rated for in-wall installation. Run 2 cables to the living room.
