I mean the abstraction of the C memory model...
i.e. " ..one or more contiguous sequences of bytes. Each byte in
memory has a unique address." This is still an appropriate
abstraction, even in modern times.
When working at a low-level, this is still, even today, an
appropriate and suitable abstraction, on which to build your
ideas.
No language can model 'actual hardware', and even if it could,
the human brain could never use such a language.
