Heavy and light industry Heavy Industry. Industries that are typically considered heavy include:

1. Chemicals and plastics. 2. Steel and oil refining, production. 3. Mining. 4. Industrial machinery. 5. Mass transit (railways, airlines, shipbuilders). Another trait of heavy industry is that it most often sells its goods to other industrial customers, rather than to the end consumer. Heavy industries tend to be a part of the supply chain of other products. As a result, their stocks will often rally at the beginning of an economic upturn and are often the first to benefit from an increase in demand. Light Industry.
Manufacture of small or lightweight articles; manufacture of items that use mo derateamounts of partially processed materials to produce items of relatively hi gh value per unit weight.

Concluding: We have now the bases to explain the difference between the light and the heavy industry, Heavy industry is consider by many of the researchers as a volume or massive production industry providing the rest of the industries of primary material, also this is one of the most important supports of the economy giving to the world the base for the prices of the new market.

Now the light industry refers to an industry that takes from the heavy the material, to work on it and make products, that are little but because of the value that the manufacturing ads to that product make it more expensive than a massive product as the heavy industry.

Third industrial revolution. The digitization of manufacturing will transform the way goods are made and change the politics of jobs too. THE first industrial revolution began in Britain in the late 18th century, with the mechanization of the textile industry. Tasks previously done laboriously by hand in hundreds of weavers' cottages were brought together in a single cotton mill, and the factory was born. The second industrial revolution came in the early 20th century, when Henry Ford mastered the moving assembly line and ushered in the age of mass production. The first two industrial revolutions made people richer and more urban. Now a third revolution is under way. Manufacturing is going digital. As this week's special report argues, this could change not just business, but much else besides. A number of remarkable technologies are converging: clever software, novel materials, more dexterous robots, new processes (notably three-dimensional printing) and a whole range of web-based services. The factory of the past was based on cranking out zillions of identical products: Ford famously said that carbuyers could have any color they liked, as long as it was black. But the cost of producing much smaller batches of a wider variety, with each product tailored precisely to each customer's whims, is falling. The factory of the future will focus on mass customizationand may look more like those weavers' cottages than Ford's assembly line.

Actually this word was invented by the American futurologist Alvin Toffler (New York, 1928). The word manufacture comes from the down Latin manu (hand) y factus (action and effect to do). In change the writer Toffler Sais on his book than this change was made because of the substitution of the muscle for the mind as a fortune creator. Like the author of that book we can said that in this generation we have seen the change of the worker class in to a mind worker wen in the last generations the worker class was fuelled dedicated to the muscle work, which has been substitute by the mind the, actually the fortune machine that contains every day a more complex system of ideas that add value to the services and the products.

The evolution of the manufacturing to mentefactura began when the technology overcomes the humanity, letting the old way to make stuffs in another layout, so as we were saying the evolution of these concepts has started whit the new century that needs to give to this generation products that are every day become more sophisticated and the services we need too.
