Plot

The series centers around three children from Earth: Jackie, Matt, and Inez. They were brought into Cyberspace, a digital universe, in order to protect the world from the villain Hacker (voiced by Christopher Lloyd). These kids are able to prevent Hacker from destroying Cyberspace by means of problem-solving skills with basic math. In Cyberspace, they meet Digit (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried for the first thirteen seasons, later voiced by Ron Pardo since the fourteenth season), a cybird that helps them on their missions.
