About
Technologically Impaired Duck is an Advice Animal image macro series featuring a centered image of a white duck with overlaid text conveying technological ignorance or misunderstanding.
Origin
The original image comes from a FreeFoto stock photo of a white mallard from March 31st, 2003.[1]
The image macros are rumored to have started on Memegenerator[2] in 2009 before being further popularized on 4chan’s /b/ board. The earliest found images contain the Memegenerator watermark, providing some evidence to support this rumor.

Derivatives have spread to sites like Tumblr[6], Memebase[7], FunnyJunk[8], and Reddit.[9]

Also, I felt like this guy when I first got my DS five years ago, and tried to charge it by painstakingly removing the battery cover and realizing that you just need to charge it.
