Gmail, Dropbox and iTunes? What do you mean they're cloud

So, according to some newly-published research coming from the direction of Webfusion, the average American is pretty clueless when it comes to 'getting' the cloud compared to the average Brit. Only 25 percent of Americans really understood what the cloud was, yet 34 percent of the British public were on the money as far as defining the cloud was concerned. Apparently, and with absolutely no hint of surprise from my direction, 25-34 year olds pretty universally get it best, but my eyebrows did rise a tad when I saw that 63 percent of people don't recognise iTunes, Dropbox or even Gmail as being cloud-based services.
