This is exactly why I have always hated the CLOUD term.... it was started to make it simple and it's just more confusing.
For 'non-technical' people, it makes it simpler to just accept the term knowing their 'stuff' is out there somewhere...(i.e. it's not just on their WinMac, iThis or AndThat).
Now, techies can have more trouble with the specificity or lack thereof.
It's a conceptual, not technical, architecture so it can be implemented (and sold) in many ways
A new nuance and name will emerge in a year or three
To the user/consumer, the "cloud" means something a bit different than to the DataCenter, I think. Cloud infrastructure (whether internal or external) is a stretchy pool of compute power and/or storage behind the consumer cloud.
You're just making it MORE confusing now, jaypee. The "Consumer Cloud"? Wait there's a Consumer cloud and what?!? A business cloud?
I joke, of course, but you're making my point.

It's just the internet and servers attached to it.

Cloud computing in simple term is using someone else computer to do stuff you want to do without owning it.
There are fundamentally three thing involved You- Your Internet Connection – CC Provider.
1) Cloud computing provider build a giant computer with big-big RAM, Hard disk and computing power.
2) Users lease some of it computing power for certain duration and only pay for that duration.
3) The CC provider leases the rest computing power to other who needs it by way of virtualization (cutting the computing power virtually into smaller and isolated segments).
4) Internet is a prerequisite. During the whole process.
YOUR PC - INTERNET - VENDOR'S PC
1) Vendor provides computer
2) User uses vendors computer over the internet generally through an app
3) Irrelevant for the discussion at hand and more confusing for the lay person
4) See #2
