>My local restaurant wont get disrupted because it's not using Cloudfront.

To put it out there, I was in an unfamiliar city this weekend and when my friends and I wanted to order some food, simply for convenience: if they weren't on grubhub they were off our radar; so I'd say "the cloud" is even offering a competitive advantage for your local restaurants that use it vs those that don't.

Before the term cloud we still had websites ... the cloud term is a little foggy if you ask me.

Before "the cloud" we had a lot of awful flash restaurant websites done by a local contractor with wildly varying quality, functionality, and no ability to order online. I'd say the "the cloud" (the pop-culture and general understanding of it, not specific things like Cloudfront) really has improved this area.
