I do NOT understand "The Cloud."?

Like everyone, my computer has an internal MEMORY. And if I want, I can buy additional external MEMORY. Neither of which I will have to pay a monthly fee to use my computer memory. And a PLUS, I know where my computer memory is actually at. In my computer.

Now everyone is going crazy over "The Cloud." Which is an external memory located who-knows-where.' And a PLUS; you have to pay a monthly fee to use 'The Cloud.'

Tell me again why 'The Cloud' is such a fantastic thing?
