What do christian monks and what do Buddhist monks do in there everyday life?
For Christian monks, it depends on the monastic order they've joined. All orders emphasize regular prayer and introspection. Beyond that, some orders are founded to do missionary work, some focus on agriculture, teaching, or other service, some are contemplative orders; that is, they withdraw from the society around them to study and pray. It is my understanding that Buddhist monasteries can be much more flexible in what their members do. All monks must study the dhamma lessons and learn to meditate. This is necessarily a very brief, simplistic answer.

Why didn't the monks just use computers to write things down?
Present day monks do use computers, faxes, scanners, etc. Prior to the late 1960s there were no computers to use. Some writing (manuscripts and similar) is done as an art form. This presupposes that it is done by hand with pens and brushes. SOme orders of monks require a withdrawal from the world. These orders might use computers for record keeping but would not use the Internet which would bring the world into their monasteries.
