The Cloud 

A fairy-tail like place where computers work perfectly 100% of the time.

Servers never crash, applications run flawlessly, disks never fill up, and viruses cease to exist. Even user-error ceases to exist, because The Cloud won't let it.

Programmer: "Sir, our servers are slow, our application sucks, and our employees are idiots. Larry just ran DEL *.* in the system folder by accident!"

User: "Wait...can The Cloud really fix all that? What about our broken app and all the viruses?"

User: "Well the marketing material does say even a monkey can do it. Step 1: Move to The Cloud. Step 2: Make it Rain on 'dem Hoes."

Manager: "Brilliant"

I'll just watch that movie on the cloud.

The Cloud 

A fancy name for technology that is as old as the internet. "The Cloud" is just a buzzword for web based services.

Jim: I'll just put the documents on our FTP server so that everyone can see them.
Samantha: That sounds too complicated, why don't you put it on the cloud?
Jim: ...

The Cloud 

An annoying excuse for a place to put your files. They say you are secure, but who believes those guys.

I just lost all of my computer data to the cloud.
