This is what you call “over-engineered.” You take a simple device that can’t go wrong — a door handle — and you turn it into some sophisticated interactive robotics device and BLAMMO! Disaster.

A door handle should be such a stable design that it should never fail (at least until ridiculous amounts of wear and tear), and such a simple design that a failure is relatively harmless.

I Disagree, this is typical of most businesses these days and I believe it has more to do with allowing Public School Graduates in to Engineering classes when they should be sweeping floors at Starbucks.
