We're also no longer willing to swallow bad service with over one third (37%) of Brits saying that the internet has made them more aware of their consumer rights.
The new research found that this confidence stems from new technology giving us a public platform to voice our opinions:
Social media has encouraged more than a third (37%) of Brits to share their ideas and suggestions for improving everyday bugbears with companies and 93% agree that leaving feedback helps shape things for the better.
With this in mind, giffgaff is today launching a new campaign to celebrate Britain's light bulb moments and passion for sharing creativity. People are being encouraged to submit their ideas on how they would do things better into an online ideas hub: which will capture the best solutions to make the world run a little smoother.
Tom Rainsford, Head of Brand at giffgaff, said: "Brits today have high expectations and technology has given us confidence not only to be more demanding, but also to contribute ideas on how to do things better. We're no longer prepared to accept the status quo and we're using our creativity to find innovative solutions to our common bugbears and joining together to find our voice online and through social media.
"giffgaff was born out of a frustration with existing mobile networks and the conviction that we could offer a better service by asking customers directly what they really want. The giffgaff 'Do this better' campaign will showcase the most imaginative ideas from across the nation - from the functional to the obscure - as we look for solutions to other everyday frustrations."
Luke Peters, Editor of T3 Magazine, added:
"Technology allows us to be heard like never before. Social media is a great way to make connections and share ideas, hopefully shaping things for the better. It will come as no surprise that the companies who listen and react accordingly will reap the benefits.
"Everyone has a good idea inside them and I'm really looking forward to seeing what people come up with."
