In my university classes, I occasionally post questions for students to consider and I wanted to do something similar in this forum.

When people find out that I work in the cloud education space (@Dell) and teach university cloud classes part-time, I get a number of comments about the cloud.  I have come to realize there are many different ideas and interpretations of what cloud is, what it does. etc.

One comment I have heard a lot is: 

•  "I know what cloud is, I have iCloud (or Google Drive, DropBox, etc.)"

I tell them these technologies are great but when I let them know we don't cover them in much detail, they look confused. I then clarify by letting them know that many of my students are already IT professionals so we mostly focus on enterprise related cloud topics and technologies.

Whether you are new to cloud or not, What did the term "cloud" mean to you when you first heard it?

You don't need to post but I encourage you to do so.  I will follow up with my reply but I want to give some time for you to think about it. 

Thanks.
