Life used in a general sense/Oxford comma

[Anna232]

Can I use "life" in a general sense without an article and is the comma optional before "and"? Is it an example of the Oxford comma?

Context: it is not an essay prompt. I am just sharing my opinion about the influence of technology on our life.
"Technology is becoming more important in our life. It makes life easier in many ways. For example, we can communicate with people quickly, search for information, and even work from home. But I don't think technology always improves the quality of life."

Context: it is not an essay prompt. I am just sharing my opinion about the influence of technology on our life lives.

"Technology is becoming more important in our life lives. It makes life some things easier in many ways. For example, we can communicate with people quickly, search for information, and even work from home. But However, I don't think technology always improves the quality of life."

See above.

As you can see, I'd use "lives" in the opening sentence. I've changed "life" to "some things" because it avoids the close repetition of a form of "life". Yes, it's an Oxford comma. It avoids the reader seeing "search for information and" and expecting to see another noun that we can search for.
As a learner, don't try to start sentences with "but". If you want to use it instead of my "However" opening, remove the full stop after "home". The singular "life" is correct at the end because "quality of life" is a set phrase.

I thought "in our life" was correct if we talk about life in general even when talking about many people.

You'll certainly hear it but I much prefer the plural. Learners commonly seem to think that using the plural suggests that the people have more than one of the noun. It doesn't suggest that to native speakers.

We all have radios in our cars.
They have multiple apps on their computers.
We all go through difficult times in our lives.

If I wanted to use the singular in those sentences, I'd use "Everyone" at the start.

Everyone has a radio in their car.
Everyone has multiple apps on their computer.
Everyone goes through difficult times in their life.

I would also offer the following options for the first sentence:

"Technology is becoming more important in life."
"Technology is becoming more important for everyone / for us all."
"Technology is becoming more important in our society."
"Technology is becoming more important these days."
