The simple present says that something was true in the past, is true in the present, and will be true in the future. It is used for general statements of fact.
The simple present is used to express habitual or everyday activity, may indicate a situation that exists right now, at the moment of speaking.
The present progressive expresses an activity that is in progress at the moment of speaking. It begans in the recent past, is continuing at present, and will probably end at some point in the future. Often activity is of a general nature : something generally in progress this week, this month, this year.
