Cloud and Internet

As has been previously discussed, Cyberspace and Information Highway are misleading synonyms for the Internet, each commonly used to connote Data, whereas 'cyber' literally means 'control', and 'inform' literally means to communicate Form.  Another misnomer is The Cloud, for two reasons.  First, it suggests disembodiment, whereas, the Internet is founded on its hardware.  Second, it connotes not at all the interconnectivity of the medium.  Perhaps, as research into it develops further, the Plasma Cloud, which is a phenomenon constituted by charge particles acting collectively, might one day exemplify the image.  But, until then, 'The Cloud' tends to promote traditional Mind-Body Dualism.
