Cloud Computing (in Plain English)

Cloud Computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The name cloud computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that's often used to represent the Internet in flow charts and diagrams.

Somehow you turned plain computing into something complex. Or maybe you are too buzy selling instead of explaining

It couldn't explained way more complex. Here is what's cloud computing. User puts info/data/etc in big companies server and the company processes the data for the user, and user gets billed (or not) by the company. OFC the company own/check/change the data without informing the user. Sounds familiar? Well it is because cloud computing is just a ribbon on the same things that we already use to make it look something new and else.

easiest example; webmails.
