Both sentences sound awkward to me.
I would prefer --
"We live in the time when technology is progressing rapidly" or
"We live in the era of rapid technological growth." --much better, concise and emphatic
[Edited: My mistake -- it should be 'in a time' and 'in an era' instead of 'in the time' and 'in the era'. Thank you Mr. M for the follow up and correction. It really helps me realise where exactly I go wrong. ]
