Says you. It's obviously a fad. That's not in question. Whether cloud is an improvement or not, and whether it's a good plan for companies, is a hot topic.
I thought a "fad" was something that was temporary and a lot of people hyped when it wasn't as great as they thought.
I.e. I only thought "fad" could be applied to something that has passed, and not something that is currently being acclaimed by lots of people.
Unless you define "temporary" is some way that allows a window of several years, they are not necessarily temporary.
When young people started wearing jeans with rips and tears in them, it was considered a fad. Now, brand new jeans come with rips and tears in them. The fad continues, but since it's no longer new or novel it isn't referred to as much as a fad.
