*Phone rings. Boss picks up*

"Hello, this is so and so."

*pause*

"Hold on a sec.... did you just say cloud!!! Yeah, not interested!"

*smashes phone onto receiver*

It's one of the pet peeves of the IT dept.. 99% of all people who say 'the cloud' have no fucking idea what they are taking about.

the cloud is really overhyped though it can be very beneficial to many professions

Cloud is so mistunderstood. Storing data on other computers isn't really the cloud... the Cloud is like, Folding @ Home. Stuff like that. Distributed computing.

But it's a buzz word so I use it in ways that will get a point across to others. *shrugs* I rarely say it though.

We just had someone yesterday trying to pitch "the cloud"

"You and your clients can access the data from any device, anywhere, anytime!"
"You mean like the internet?"
"No no, it's cloud-based!"
*click*

Hopefully this marketing shit dies soon.
