I, too, used to think conservative values were an old people thing, but it turns out that's not always the case. [1]

I think you maybe be on a bit of a red herring here. Yes, values vary by age group but I'm unconvinced that cohorts change predictably over their lifetimes especially if we consider a more international view.

However, values aside I think there is an impact from neuroplasticity in terms of how younger people adapt more readily to new technology, etc.
