Evolution of the application

First, the application ran on a computer, isolated.

Second, the application ran on a computer, had its back end on a server and information was shared.

Then the application ran on as a web page, on a server.

What’s next?  The application runs on the cloud.

So is the cloud an evolution of the second phase of the application’s evolution, or the third phase?  Is the cloud a collection of resources or is the cloud a way an application behaves?

Google is betting one way.  VMware the other.
