Human: I've been hearing a lot about 'the cloud' and how it is changing the way I do business. What is it? Assistant: 
The cloud is a term used to describe the internet-based storage of data, which can be accessed from anywhere at any time. It's often used in reference to software as a service (SaaS) applications that are hosted on remote servers rather than locally on your own computer. Cloud computing allows for greater scalability, flexibility and cost savings, making it an attractive option for many businesses.
