Dunno what rote means then...
Millions of kids today are buying phones -- thier firsts -- which are 
full-featured (ie Turing-complete) computers and using them without anything 
remotely like a manual.

When I started teaching programming in the late-80s we used turbo-C and 
PC-scheme.
The manuals were outstanding. And nobody dreamed of being able to use such 
stuff without non-trivial amount of study.

The situation is reversed today -- the modern kid expects everything to run 
without study.  This need not be a good thing -- the 'intuitive' interface may 
in fact be the stupid interface; does not change the fact that its the 
universal expectation.
