"Some people learned to crank magneto ringers on their phones before they knew they could download lebenty-zillion ring-tones."
(Puts up hand eagerly.)
I cannot lend any philosophical insight to this discussion, except to note that in college/university, I learned procedural C++ first, the idea being that we should learn the nuts and bolts before moving on to OOP (the second term), and finally the STL (the third term). By the third term, I was learning C (and getting used to using stdio.h versus iostream, among other things). Assembly language came much later, and circuit logic last of all...everything in chronological reverse, in fact!
