Cloud computing is Internet ("cloud") based development and use of computer technology ("computing"),[1][2][3] It is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualised resources are provided as a service over the Internet,[4][5][6][7] Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them[8]
The concept incorporates infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) as well as Web 2,0 and other recent (ca, 2007–2009)[9][10] technology trends which have the common theme of reliance on the Internet for satisfying the computing needs of the users, Examples of SaaS vendors include Salesforce,com and Google Apps which provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers,
The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on how the Internet is depicted in computer network diagrams, and is an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it conceals,[11].
one sentence :o
The classic dilemma of the software distributor is ensuring that all clients are using up-to-date versions of the software, both for the purpose of requiring less legacy support and for ensuring that upgrades and new features are purchased in a timely manner. Cloud computing steps up to the plate and removes all control over the software in question from the user, solving the dilemma once and for all. No longer are we beholden to our users opinions about how things should be done — with complete control over the software in use and with the users' data in our hands, we can ensure lifelong commitment and timely purchases from all users.
Cloud:
Old ways cost too much
Virtual to meet demand

Cloud computing today is a very strong parallel to what timesharing was like in the 1970's.

No, it's really exactly the same thing. They just had to come up with a different name becase if they said "timesharing" anyone with the subtlest knowledge of computing history would run away screaming.

The concepts are the same, the mechanism is different. That's why I don't consider it to be the same.

If you think any of the self-described geniuses behind cloud computing remember timesharing, you have too much faith in humanity.
