Cloud Computing - What exactly is the cloud?

Q: What exactly is the cloud?

But what exactly is the cloud? Simply put, the cloud is the Internet—more specifically, it's all of the things you can access remotely over the Internet. When something is in the cloud, it means it's stored on Internet servers instead of your computer's hard drive.

Answer

However, can you define "cloud" for me? The Internet, and more especially everything that can be accessed remotely via the Internet, is what the cloud is all about. Information is "in the cloud" when it resides on remote servers rather than on your local machine's hard disk.
