Q37: Do we say 'human's life' or 'human's lives'?

Hi, 

Please tell me if the following sentence is grammatically correct:

= Computers are becoming more and more important in human's life. (Is it correct to say 'human's life'? Or do we say 'human's lives'?)

Thank you.

Computers are becoming more and more important in a human's life . Human here is a human being. I think this is OK.

  • Computers are becoming more and more important in a human's life .
  • Human here is a human being.
  • I think this is OK.
  • Computers are becoming more and more important in the lives of human beings.
  • J ust 'human' refers to man or mankind and so human's lives sounds odd to me.
