Well, the company I work for builds the hotel system for two of the biggest monasteries! (It's a super outdated .NET Framework + webforms website for which, over the years, they have requested micro-changes to the fullest extent so it's really made to measure now, I am pretty sure it will never be upgraded)

The two monks I have spoken with are real sweethearts, but they sound really bored and idle to me. They do love speaking with my female coworker though which is, eh, kinda funny. :p

So interesting! I have been to the the mountain a few times, and once I get to know the life of a specific monastery better, I’m always surprised that there is quite bit of technology, especially computers. I think many monks have laptops now too. I’m sure some are lurking here on HN.
