Steem can and most probably will change the world especially in the developing and under developed countries.
There are a lot of unemployed educated youth in India who can benefit from steemit. The average income of an Indian is around 4.6$ per day, so if someone from India writes a post daily and he gets atleast 5$ he is already above average. The only thing stopping this is the awareness about steemit which is increasing day by day.
Same thing can be applied to other third world countries.
