> People just buy into the "cloud" marketing. They don't have the ability to think and reason, and so don't understand that "cloud" just means "renting someone else's computer."
It sounds you're trying to dismiss and downplay solutions to problems you're oblivious to.
Even if you want to simplisticly frame "the cloud" as "renting someone else's computer", keep in mind that:
* It's not one computer but as many as you'd like, and get them at the click of a button,
* These are computers which are managed 24/7 by a team of highly trained specialists,
* These computers can be located anywhere in the world and simultaneously in multiple regions,
* These computers are designed to be fault-tolerant and handle (and survive) way more stuff that can conceivably be thrown at them.
> People talk about "the cloud" with the same fervor and language as members of a cult.
I'm sorry to say but you sound like you're militantly opposed to a solution to problems you either don't understand or refuse to understand.
"The cloud", even when following the simplistic and clueless belief that it's just "renting someone else's computer", solves whole classes of technical and business problema that your box under your desk cannot solve.
