modernizations
Bringing things current
Modernizations are acts or instances of making something modern—updating it to current standards, technologies, or practices.
The word often appears in contexts of infrastructure, industry, or institutions: The factory underwent extensive modernizations, Military modernizations strained the budget.
A single comprehensive update is modernization; multiple distinct updates are modernizations.
