They do. I did. Like geometric objects in introducing OOP, a convention is being followed. The point not being the importance of knowing, by heart, the capitals of states. The point being the importance of exercising the memorization facility. What I see in your suggestion is, once again, the power of technology in the classroom to fix what isn't broken, or in fact break what's fixed - not the opposite.
