Cloud is a term to mean Internet, so internet computing.

PCs wont really be computers anymore, more like terminals. When you turn it on, you are prompted for a password and username. When you log in, everything is stored on a central server owned by Google or whoever.
Data will be safer this way, less prone to failure, theft and you will be able to access your information from any computer in the world. Its sort of a difficult concept but it goes back to the mainframe days. Its a similar concept. You will also have processors and video managers over the cloud, if you need more memory, buy more from Google and it goes wherever you go.

EDIT: Cloud computing will be cheaper than you think, or should I say you save more money. PCs will just be simple terminals, your paying for a screen, keyboard, mouse and network card. No processors or memory or anything like that. They will be cheap.What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is where all of your files and software is stored on a remote server. You access all of your information through an internet connection. Think email. When you have an email account, you access it through the web, yet all your information is stored with that email provider, on THEIR servers and not yours.

To me, it is another way to get money out of my pocket.

I PAY to have my computer files stored in unknown computers at unknown locations.

What happen to MY hard drive and/or a backup drive on my desk?

NOW I have to be part of the "in" crowd and pay to use 'Cloud.'.
Cloud computing is when all of your files are stored on a "cloud" (bunch of servers) instead of your actually hard drive
