Abstract
This last chapter summarizes the four chapters before into a final end. Instead of “Conclusion,” it is called “Limits” since it points out the boundaries that our current desire for omnipresence is crossing not only in our own bodies, but also in the body of our societies and our beautiful Blue Planet better known as “Earth.”

Deep web are websites not indexed by search engines or that can only be found through advanced encryption systems. In contrast to the so-called surface web, that is, the web usually employed by most people, the deep web is the category that has the biggest growth information-wise. There is no way to measure it, but it is estimated that the deep web can be at least five hundred times bigger than the surface web, sheltering all kinds of information and data, specially illegal ones, such as child pornography, drug-trafficking rings, criminal networks, and computer virus distribution networks.

Panic attacks happen like a heart attack: out of the blue. And among its many symptoms we can find: feeling of imminent danger, fear of losing control, feelings of indifference, feeling of being out of reality, numbing and tingling in the hands, feet or face, palpitations, accelerated cardiac rhythm and tachycardia, sweating, shakings and spasms, difficulty to breath, shortness of breath, feeling suffocated, hyperventilation, shivering, heat waves, nausea, abdominal pain, chest pain and discomfort, headaches, dizziness, fainting, feeling of having the throat getting shut, and difficulty to swallow. However, without the shadow of a doubt, the worst one among all of these symptoms was the clear feeling of death or of an imminent tragedy.
