So far as I can tell (admittedly not far), cloud computing is just a euphemism for the centralized data processing that computing designers keep trying and trying to revive in the face of its long, continuous decline since the introduction of personal computers. People like being in charge of their own systems, so I don't see it getting far.
What might change the game is the increasing reliance on mobile devices rather than traditional desktop/laptop PCs.
