Are the Middle Ages the same as the stone ages?
No. Let me expand that a bit. The "stone age" is the period before people learned to work metal. There are a number of division and subdivision as various technologies developed, but in general it means, at least in the context of Europe, before 5500 BCE. The Middle Ages are much later. It can refer in general to anytime from the collapse of the classical civilizations of the ancient world in Europe, through the start of the renaissance. There are different interpretations as to where exactly to draw the line, some date it from the fall of rome in 410 CE, others to 500 CE. Very roughly the middle ages last until 1500 CE, although the Renaissance was underway in parts of Europe before that. The early middle ages, sometimes called the Dark Ages, are from the start of the middle ages,where ever you date that, to about the year 1000. This is a period of decreased population, diminished city life, decay and almost end of long distance trade and money economy, and a nearly total loss of literacy outside of the church. There is something of a reboot around the year 1000, and things start to improve. Very gradually, cities grow, the economy improve, a merchant and urban class begins to develop. The period from 1000 to about 1200CE is known as the Central Middle Ages, The period from 1200 to 1500 is what most people think of when they hear "middle ages". This is the age of armored knights, chivalry, Chaucer, the medieval romances, the great Cathedrals, it is the setting of stories like Robin Hood and Ivanhoe. While still an agrarian society with a low literacy rate, this period has a vibrant urban culture, art, literature, and architecture we still consider inspirational. There is also a solid money economy with long distance trade. This period is called the "High Middle Ages".
How was trade in the middle ages in Europe?
Travel was very dangerous during the middle ages, because of limited technology (sailing ships are not nearly as reliable as modern ships that have engines) and because of general political chaos; travellers were often attacked. In addition, productivity was low, and most people only produced what they needed to support themselves as subsistence farmers, and therefore had nothing to trade anyway. The majority of the products currently being traded in the 21st century had not even been invented, or had not been commercially developed in the middle ages. Petroleum, currently the most valuable commodity in terms of international trade, was not traded or used during the middle ages; no one had yet invented a use for it.
Why were the Middle Ages a dark time for learning?
I have spent a fair amount of time investigating education in the Middle Ages, and I have no reason to believe learning was more widespread under the ancient Roman Empire. More people were educated in western Europe of the Renaissance, perhaps, than in the Middle Ages, but I doubt Western Europe of the Renaissance had a higher literacy rate than was achieved in most of the history of the medieval Byzantine Empire, even given the effects of the printing press. Certainly, there were medieval periods when the literary output was well below that of the best years of the Roman Empire or Renaissance. Nevertheless, there were times of similar low literary output in the history of the Roman Empire. And there were periods of the Middle Ages when literary output possibly exceeded that of the height of the ancient Roman Civilization. Our view of the Middle Ages has been very skewed by disparaging commentaries written about the Middle Ages by Renaissance writers, and it was further damaged by later modern historians who were enthralled with the Renaissance and willing to accept their views without doing further research. There is a link below to a related question on medieval education. You might also look at the question on medieval culture, checking the links from that question.

What was life expectancy of someone in the middle ages?
AnswerAverage Life Expectancy at birth in The Middle Ages was 35, but about one third died as children, if you could make it to your mid teens you could expect to live to your mid forties, early fifties. AnswerI was curious about this and did some research. About a third of the people died as infants, rather than as children, and the this produces different numbers. If you survived to the age of two, your life expectancy was to the early to mid fifties. A show on BBC (sorry, I forget the name) told about a study of bodies retrieved from the crypt of a church for reburial. The bodies were examined, and since it was possible to provide the names and dates for each, the ages of the people were known. Medical examiners were asked to estimate the ages, without knowing what they were. The resulting estimates was fairly uniformly ten years shy of the facts. For the middle ages, the implication is that the estimated age expectancy of the middle ages is that it would have been estimated as too low by several years if the estimate is based on archeology.I went into history and looked at 20 people whose ages could be calculated or estimated, who had not been professional soldiers or members of the high nobility, and who came from a mix of backgrounds. It turns out that they died with an average age of 64. Since they had all achieved the age of about 40, this would suggest that the life expectancy at 40 might have been to the mid sixties.
