[General] They have the Internet at their disposal

[UM Chakma]

Hi there,

"They have the Internet at their disposal" What does this sentence mean? Can you please elaborate this to me? I looked up in the dictionary but I couldn't take the exact meaning in.

Thanks.

I guess you know what the internet is, so you're asking about 'at their disposal'.

It means they are able to use it.

• the power or opportunity to make use of someone or something (esp in the phrase at one's disposal)

They can use it if they want to- it's there for them to access.
