        she meant "apropos". it's a non-sequitur but she is speculating about what would happen if the primary sources our society uses for standard time stopped communicating

      All digital infrastructure would collapse if our society lost its ability to coordinate on time, but I don't see how this would affect Bluetooth headphones.

        they'd have nothing to connect to

        my radio still has a headphone jack, though

          You would still be able to connect it to your phone. Your phone, however, would not have any Internet.
