Basically, it's like all the OS'es, applications, desktops are operated in central location. The company who operate "cloud", they hold very large storage space, re: hard drive. Now, if you have mini pad, cell phone, or computer that does not require large hard drive or "operating systems", it just mostly function as Web interface on your screen. Any time you save your work, every hardware you hold, like iPad, iPhone, Netbook, smartphone will sync automatically. No matter where you are. You don't need to be at specific desktop machine just to get the documents and transfer to your iPad. If you use cloud method, anytime you save the documents, every devices you use will show up there. It's because documents are saved in the central location. Your MS Word are in the cloud, you don't have to install MS Word on every machine. You can just simply click MS Word from your cell phone and it loaded and then you can open your documents. Once you are done. Then save it in cloud. Then you can switch to iPad, your word documents is there. Get the idea, that what Cloud is about. So, it's more of centralize comunication/application network.

I'm just giving you a general idea, I hope that help

Let me give you another idea, more refridgerator come with computer screen, and it connected cloud. So, anytime you noticed that you are running out of food, you close the door and open your cloud on the screen, and make a list. Once you are done, then you go to grocery store, you use your cell phone and all the shopping list are in your screen...pronto!
