The Cloud is for Fantastical Sharing!

The Cloud is a metaphor for the Internet, its name comes from the fluffy shape that is used to draw computer networks, a friendly abstraction for the complex infrastructure it obscures.

The Cloud is a style of communication in which complex computer functions are provided as a 'service' allowing users to access them from anywhere, "in the cloud" without any knowledge, expertise, or control over the technical infrastructure that supports them.

Cloud computing is a general concept that makes technology an omnipotent servant. We don't have to worry about where information is physically stored, as long as we can get online we can access it, anywhere at anytime.
