What is cloud computing in simplest terms?

Im reading an article and it says "The threat: cloud computing, in which applications run on the web."





What does that mean?|||Instead of running applications on your computer they are run from central servers which you access to view data. The computing/calculating is done elsewhere, you just view the data and direct commands.|||Cloud Computing in really easy to understand language: http://bit.ly/bVrq7A
