I say yes because, as others have pointed out, C is at the base of nearly everything. If not C then you should learn some systems level language, be it C, D, rust or whatever. If you want to know how modern computing actually works then that's the way to do it. You'll learn lessons that will teach you how to avoid common pitfall mistakes in higher level languages. And you'll be able to interop with C/C++ libraries which can be quite useful. And your code will run faster than most other languages can achieve. There are lots of reasons to learn C even today.
