Oh my god, too many incorrect answers .
Please help me to correct them. I don't know how to get them right, anyway.
For instance:
3
other academics are claiming that we are now starting to feel first significant
the first
I think there must be "the" before "first". I often see "the first".

[linhtho0211]

And sorry I mistyped sentence 11. It is:
11
to learn even the most basic of mathematic sums when at the press of a button
--> mathematical

[bhaisahab]

Yes it should be 'the first'.

[bhaisahab]

And N°11 should be 'mathematical'.

There is one mistake in each line. Find and correct the mistakes.

There is no referent for "them" in the original.

Should we change life into lives or are into in?
I've corrected all mistakes in the following paragraph. Please help me to check once more if there are any more mistakes

Theprocessor and calculator are without a shadow of a doubt here to stay, and in many respects our life is much richer for them. But teachers and other academics are claiming that we are now starting to feel the first significant wave of their effects on a generation of users. It seems nobody under the age of twenty can spell or add up any more. Even several leaders at leading universities have commented on the detrimental effect the digital revolution has had on the most intelligent minds in the country. The problem, evidently, lies with the automatic spellcheck now widely available on wordprocessing software.

'Life' should be changed to 'lives'.
