The simple answer is that it doesn't!
It will change what kids learn in school about the solar system but that's about it. For the scientists and astronomers it means they will need to take into account the definition of 'planet' and 'dwarf planet' when classifying new planets in the future or even reclassifying current planets/dwarf planets...
Hope that helped :)
The planet Pluto is bigger than the average human being, yes.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) agreed that Pluto should be classified as a dwarf planet on August 24, 2006, during their General Assembly in Prague. This decision was based on new definitions of what constitutes a planet, which led to Pluto being reclassified from a full-fledged planet to a dwarf planet.
No. Pluto is still perfectly intact. It was, however, demoted as it does not meet the new definition of a planet.
Most recently that would be Pluto. But Pluto was not the first object called a planet to be later demoted. The asteroid Ceres was known as a planet for a longer period of time than Pluto was.
Pluto was demoted from being a planet to a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union. This decision was made after the definition of a planet was revised, and Pluto no longer met the criteria.

Pluto is a dwarf planet and trans-neptunian object. Crossing orbits with Neptune stops Pluto being a planet.
Pluto is not being replaced, it is simply no longer regarded as a proper planet.
Pluto isn't a moon, it orbits the sun, but it is a dwarf planet
Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006, after being known as a major planet for 76 years.
Pluto was founded by ancient Greek astronomers thousands of years ago. So I'll go with Pluto the planet, despite it now being a dwarf planet.
Not really, calling it something different hasn't physically changed anything.
Pluto is not a star. It recently got renamed from being a "Planet" and is now called a "Dwarf Planet."

Pluto was recently stripped of the honour of being a planet
Pluto has not cleared its orbital path of debris.
Most people are not happy or sad about it. Also, it wasn't technically a demotion; Pluto was placed into a more specific category of planet.
