Are cloud computing and internet synonymous??

Since the presentation last week, I have been weighing my thoughts on the questions that were raised. Some questions had a common underlying theme " How different is cloud computing from Internet?" One can make a point that Internet is a collection of information and Web services. From that view point, if Internet and Cloud Computing are the two intersecting circles in a classical Venn Diagram, Web Services is the area that is common to both. (Paas and Iaas can be considered parts of the cloud clomputing circle that does not intersect with Internet.)

The following two links though do tend to support the idea that cloud computing and internet are synonymous.
