Ah, the North Koreans have gotten to you too.

Easier than trying to explain.

If Joe’s anything like me, he wouldn’t understand anyway.

The government’s watching, if I tell you I have to kill you.

Well Korea is watching Sony on the movie or the hackers are.I think I understand Cloud. Too bad computer experts do not when my computer went down.

The Cloud is where the geeks stick their head.

A cloud is a bunch of water droplets loosely associated without being physically connected.The cloud is a bunch of data storage and processing devices electronically associated without being physically connected.

Hm how to explain the cloud in terms an idiot would understand.

Imagine all your stuff is in a box. Its a limited size box so eventually you will run out of room and you cannot share the contents if you arent with your box. Now imagine the cloud is a much bigger box with almost unlimited space. Now you can make room for your other box plus its with you at all times so now you can share your content

“The Cloud” is just off site storage. In other words it is in someone else’s computer, somewhere else.

Originally the cloud was the point where you connect to the internet and hand off to unknown carriers to get to where you need to get. Than the marketing division got hold of the term and like it better than the distributed server term used by many. It take a real dorked up marketing division to make something easy more complex for the use of salesmanship.
