Best of Technologically Impaired Duck
Technologically Impaired Duck is a funny meme that jabs at those computer illiterate people who do the darnedest things with their computers, whether it’s double-clicking all hyperlinks for some mysterious reason, Googling the website address instead of going to it directly, or sending someone shortcuts instead of the real game or program.
I kid you not, the last one happened to me personally back when I was in high school. One of my friends gave me a floppy with some of his favorite games. I was wondering how the hell he could fit several games into a floppy, but it turns out he just copied the shortcuts there.
Anyway, check out these top Technologically Impaired Duck pics and enjoy making fun of noobs.
Maybe it is best to read them though. Remember what happened to Kyle from South Park in “Human CentiPad”?
I’m not sure how legit the following story is, but apparently a high school student had been suspended over a “suspected use of PHP”. Everyone knows that PHP is serious business.
“A teacher overheard him say that he was using PHP, and as part of our Zero-Tolerance policy against drug use, he was immediately suspended. No questions asked,” said Principal Clyde Thurlow. “We’re not quite sure what PHP is, but we suspect it may be a derivative of PCP, or maybe a new designer drug like GHB.”

You are not alone:
Much worse than than, I was brought a computer to recover files from (Windows) and they said they had backed it all up to floppy. I expected a pile of floppies (20 mb drive not GB – mid 1990′s)
- they brought 1 – it was the desktop shortcuts to all the files, they faithfully copied every day to a floppy. It was all they kept. It was a business, and I had previously seen them NOT copying files to floppies, and had told them to back up the hard drive as the drive was making noises… (I did not work for them, was free advice – was applying to be their office tech person in the 1990′s – I was hired by a computer tech company instead.) If they had dragged the shortcuts on a Mac to a floppy it would have copied the actual files, that may have confused them if they used a Mac at home.
I still get people sending me shortcuts to their drive files in email instead of the actual file.
I have seen an email program do that automatically, not sure if they fixed that problem yet – do not use that program myself.
