Lore question - how user makes input of text on Pip-boy?

[Baldur93]

Good morning! Vault-Tec calling!

Now, I know you're a busy fellas, so I won't take up much of your time. Time being a, um, precious commodity...
I was just thinking - there is no keyboar on Pip-boy 3000, 3000A, Mark IV...
Am... and OF COURSE there is no toushcreens in Fallout universe. So, then how all text of quests is being puted in?.. Seriosly, I think that I dont understand. Are developers just havent thought about it?..

Through a terminal

1. Terminal
2. File-Scanner
3. Those oldschool blinking characters with simple button-activation to switch from a to b to c to d and so on and on. It's like naming your old tamagotchi or writing in your old high-end school calculator. (Some still have this option available in their wireless home phones)
4. Wireless connection like it's mentioned in Dead Money (I have loaded the tasks onto your PipBoy.)

Btw: It's weird and funny that some of the current generation really don't know #3 anymore, because it's just to old . It's like the 3d-printed floppydisc meme.^^

Agreed,I think it's assumed that you,the pc, sync your pip-boy to a terminal via that plug mounted to the back of it,and input your journal (questlog) that way.

Edit: Or as above mentioned,maybe an on screen keyboard pops up,and via the knobs and buttons,you type that way.
