Sometimes learning on older technologies is very helpful to learning more of the fundamentals than learning practical skills directly.

For example I studied how to program assembly code for an STM32F0 microprocessor. Would never do that in practice. but worked wonders in teaching me the intricacies of a processor at a very low level.
