I will give you another example
INT. SALESFORCE MARKETING OFFICE
CMO: "we need something new, we have sold 'no software', we have sold 'cloud', we need something to sell to investors to keep this stock buzzing, after all we don't want the company to be valued on fundamentals, like Microsoft"
EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM LAUGHS
CMO: "I have a Forbes reporter coming in tomorrow, I need to give him something"
Marketing VP: "ok, how about 'post-cloud world'. it means that we are doing whatever is next"
CMO: "brilliant! a 'post-cloud world'. ok now who is getting lunch, i'm starving"
