    Solution

    The correct sequence is CBEFDA C acts as an introductory sentence where we understand the subject of the paragraph is ‘technology’ and ‘its impacts on human lives and ways of living’. It says that how technology has become an integral part of our lives. B then gives a common yet most prevalent example of use of technology i.e the use of smartphones in almost everyone’s life. E then talks about the introduction and use of Artificial Intelligence. Please note that E should come after B as E starts with an adverb ‘concurrently’ i.e ‘simultaneously’ or ‘at the same time’. It means that with the prevalence of use of smartphone technology AI is also progressing drastically. F starts with demonstrative pronoun ‘these’. It says ‘these technological advancements’. We understand that ‘the technological advancements refer to what B and E talk about. F states that how this technology is helpful for us. In the latter sentence i.e. D it shows the cones of the technology stating that it affects our privacy and security. A concludes the sentence by proposing a balance that should be made between progress in technology while securing the users’ data and privacy which is an integral ethic.
