It is somewhat ironic that most courses for the ECDL (European Computer Driving License) that I'm aware of teach the participants to operate the computer in the same concept-less way that you describe and that can be successfully applied in the process of training a horde of monkeys to play Mozart:
a.) hit the right key on the keyboard
b.) Profit! / Bananas!
