Cloud computing is an overused currently trendy buzzword. Basically everything is hosted somewhere out there on the internet. All it is doing at the moment is providing an even stronger position for Google, Amazon et al. Once they've got your data then it is very difficult to move it to another platform.

When I was still in school, I use to always bust up inside whenever the teacher would be talking all the techno speak and then . . . . draw a big cloud on the board.
I'm sorry the dichotomy of it just always cracked me up. -
