So 'for' also can be the answer? Even though not in the choices...

Hi everyone,
Which sentence is correct:
1) We are living in the time when technical progress is increasing very rapidly.
2) We live in the time when technical progress is increasing very rapidly.
Thanks

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.

What do natives think?
