I think the phrase 'the cloud is not your computer' is actually useful, since literally it is true and forces people to consider that they should be careful with data management since all that data stored on the cloud is being managed by a third party.

I think we've reached peak hype through sociopoliticoeconomic circumstances, so now words' meanings have come unmoored and subject to seemingly arbitrary increased tectonic drift. For all we know, Chinese may rapidly supplant English soon and be the lingua franca fallback language for a while until dying out as did common Latin with the decline of the Roman Republic then Roman Empire, only remaining as fragments and loan words like fossils in other languages.
