revolutionized
Completely changed everything
Revolutionized is the past tense of revolutionize, meaning to transform something fundamentally and dramatically.
The word implies not just change but radical change—a complete overturning of how something was done before: The smartphone revolutionized communication.
The term borrows its force from political revolution, suggesting sudden, sweeping transformation rather than gradual improvement.
