The emergence of Web3 technologies promises to revolutionize the Internet and redefine our interactions with digital assets and applications. This essay explores the pivotal role of 5G infrastructure in bolstering the growth and potential of Web3. By focusing on several crucial aspects—network speed, edge computing, network capacity, security and power consumption—we shed light on how 5G technology offers a robust and transformative foundation for the decentralized future of the Internet. Prior to delving into the specifics, we undertake a technical review of the historical progression and development of Internet and telecommunication technologies.

The goal of this paper focuses on the development of dew computing, including its origins, research status, development status, and its impact on the transition history of Internet computing paradigms. By gathering and studying all the research papers related to dew computing that we are aware of, we found that these papers can be classified into three groups: dew computing early explorations, dew computing feature research, and dew computing application research. Commercial development in the dew computing area also has progressed fast recently; many dew computing products were developed and put into the market. To distinguish dew computing from other Internet computing paradigms and to reveal its essential features, we analyze the transition history of the Internet computing paradigms from information location and distribution aspects. Online impact and redundancy rate are two indices introduced to perform the analysis. The analysis reveals that dew computing is significantly different from other Internet computing paradigms.
