in retrospect, those who pushed the cloud in the early days were almost certainly CIA controlled.
It was around 2010, heavily pushed by apple, and the term "cloud" was fairly new. Really it just meant someone else's hard drive over a network.

It predates 2010 by at least a decade.
The term comes from these kind of diagrams where a cloud represents "external services"
