We definitely moved on faster than that back in the 80's. We started with LOGO (which some people know as Turtle Graphics) and BASIC, but pretty much immediately went into other historical languages (prolog, pascal, cobol) and then to C, within a single semester. And through all that, we were always presented with the binary code (in Hex) so we were fully aware of how registers and boolean math worked.
