And "the cloud" as a phrase was/is indeed useless to those who want to know how things work. The point of "the cloud" was the concept of users not needing to think where their device is communicating. The device might as well be talking to "the cloud" in the sky. The point of "the cloud" was the occlusion to the end user. I don't see much value in the phrase as it doesn't help me know what is going on in any way.
