Certainly gaming and film would lose its charm until you catch up. On the other hand, with proper study beforehand you could take credit for every popular new IP, music and scientific discovery that hasn't happened yet, and play your income on the stock market. You could end up with most of the planet's wealth and a seat in the UN representing your interests (mainly by stopping any motions against you).
But with so many changes, I wouldn't trust the stock market I remember for more than a few months.
