I think that if you're not planning to do Operating System builds, C can be fun to learn to make some fast programs that aren't too CPU intensive, but otherwise if you're new you should probably start with Python, which I consider to be a simplified version of C, even if it's slower.

People don't really need to know how to interact with memory, since usually newer languages do it automatically.

And C++ is just more supported with .NET, while C doesn't really have that much. And C is just a pain to learn IMO.

Not only about the memory. C and C++ are typed, it will help when you start other languages. For example I learned C but It was confused in age but when I studied other languages the beginning was more simply because many languages today are C like.
