How would you explain Cloud computing to someone who has no knowledge about it?

Question

I’m trying to explain to my grandparents but it’s really tough because they can’t seem to understand the complex terms. Any advice on how to break down Cloud in layman terms using an analogy?

The Cloud simply means: someone else’s computer.

You are just connecting to someone else’s computer to do whatever you were going to do.
