A few differences exist between today's cloud and the cloud of old. Some terminology has changed: "End users" are now just "users," and "dumb terminal" has been given the far sexier rubric of "thin client" that makes one imagine attorneys at poolside.
More significantly, we now connect to these networked services via established Web standards like TCP/IP, XML and SOAP—common protocols that allow computers to connect to remote services that have enabled this "cloud ecosystem" to take shape. Prior to these standards, a cacophony of conflicting networking protocols existed, and it was hard to get systems to "talk" to one another.
