I remember one Christmas dinner one of my aunties asked about iCloud and how are they "storing pictures n stuff inside clouds now?" (physical clouds!)

Everyone immediately looks at me and most of them probably didn't believe me when I said it's just a marketing term for storing your data on a companies "computer"/server.

My family is mostly tech illiterate, but still call me paranoid when I tell them the actual truth behind the tech they're putting their trust in.

The cloud is just someone else’s computer that you neither own nor control.

Or - hear me out - or it is a bit of cotton on the end of an Ethernet cable.

Well when you have to release a patch to a customer and they are quite far away...

(e: also I have my house networked with patch cables to every room via the attic, some are 100')

Don't those blue cables go to various locations in the office for equipment to connect to? You don't have 20 cables leading out to the internet. The purple cables connect to the switch/router/firewall and then one (or maybe a few) connection leads out to the internet.
