It would be cool to isolate yourself just to return and be blown away by all the technological advancements made. Probably not worth it overall though.
I spent two years camping and hiking in remote parts of Central and South America, and on the plane on the way home I genuinely thought I was looking at the future when I saw my first iPad.
I thought (and think) that and I was around the whole time. Then I set a few up, and realised that until the password situation is resolved, we're stuck with the present.
