Introduction
The web was created in 1989 by Sir Til Berners-Lee, working at CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland. A web service is defined as a software system designed to support computer-to-computer interaction over the Internet. The World Wide Web, and related technologies, has had much progress since its advent. Nowadays, we speak about Web 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and even 4.0 and describe the fourth generation of the web. This work will present you the evolution of the web and will discuss in depth the web 1.0 which is considered as a web of cognition, the web 2.0 as a web of communication and the web 3.0 as a web of co-operation. This work will also include a brief description of the concept of the web 4.0 which can be considered as a web of integration.

Consumers were able to exchange some information together but it was not possible for them to interact with a website. Their role was really passive. The goal for a website was limited to having an online presence and providing information.
With the web 1.0, we found only personal websites and companies provided for consumer content that they were only able to view without doing anything else.

(It is now a rebranded Yahoo!) * eBay was also successful. It
