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]

Freefofo.cm

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.

Spread

The earliest known posting comes from the personal blog of Joanne Casey on June 3rd, 2009.[3] An archived 4chan thread dates back to July 19th, 2009.[4] A Facebook page[5] was created in November of 2009, and as of June 2011 has over 1400 'likes'.

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

Search queries had their first spike in June of 2009, the same month that it was posted to Joanne Casey's blog.

This actually happened. My friend posted a facebook status update saying that you should select the whole status update, press ctrl+f and type in 99, and then something was supposed to happen. When I tried it, it didn't work. In the comments there were people saying "cool, it turns yellow". I commented that it didn't work. Someone replied with "Then you don't know how to do it". I asked him which web browser he was using. He said "Windows 7". I replied with "Windows 7 is an OS, not a web browser". He said "Not everyone is a computer nerd like you".
