Root- How much would the plot change if people could use their computers for an hour per day?

People would use their phone as much as they could and Jett would probably try to sneak the phone for extra usage time. If he does this someone would get him in trouble. Even then he would hide a special watch that has a screen. If he could do that, he would have almost little care for Needles. Also, the other kids their probably would be more happy because they get to use their computers and play video games with friends, but Jett wouldnt socialize as much.

Root- What If Vlads 'Fuego' company failed and they were poor?

andrewne — 2024-04-30 13:57:45 UTC

If Vladimir was poor, Jett probably wouldn't have to go to camp because Jett would not have the technology and Jett would be at home playing outside. But even If he was sent to the camp, he would be like a cool kid that would fit in and have a lot of friends and wouldn't cry when he went into the steaming bath. Not just that, but the book most likely will not be made.

Extra Root(I'm curious)- What if Jett knew not to be spoiled?

Jett would not cry about being at the wellness camp because he would have discipline. Also, he wouldn't be as addicted to the phone/computer. He would make a lot more friends and wouldn't try to sneak his phone when he tried to. He still might not fit in in a snap but he would fit in quicker than being spoiled.
