Cued the Cat

To over-reach in the development of a technology product or service by adding excessive features that have a detrimental impact on the user-base or are perceived to have no positive value.

Akin to "jumping the shark" in media culture and illuminating a phase transition or bifurcation point, where a once potentially viable technology is deemed detrimental or excessive in problematic aspects due to its overloading of function.

Based to the late 1990s Digital Convergence Corporation cat-shaped handheld bar-code scanner known as the "CueCat" and referential to the theory of over-optimization and technocentrism expressed by Harvard Business professor Clayton Christensen and his "Innovator's Dilemma" and "Innovator's Solution" works.
