Large number of the people live in the developing countries such as India, Peru, Congo etc. who are still out of reach to broadband Internet. Moreover, thanks to cheap smartphone, they are getting access to the Internet escaping broadband. They are not computer savvy but becoming smartphone savvy.
Interestingly, an experiment on self-learning shows that when children at slum of Mumbai, India are given computers with Internet connection, they taught themselves to use computers. Through the Internet connected computers they learnt various skills by themselves .
There are cryptocurrency projects such as 
Nonetheless, we can imagine a future where, people from the developing countries will join Steem chain. They will able to earn steem or SBD, SMTs just by participating in the Steem economy. Then they will also able to buy anything or everything with steem or SBD or TOKENs.
This is already taking place in the developed countries. More or more Steemitians from developed countries are working part-time on numerous projects on STEEM blockchain. Off course, they can buy most of products from Online, even groceries from Amazon. But they can also buy numerous products using Steem and SBD. This is not true for people from the developing countries. They do not have Amazon or Ebay. But cryptocurrency/blockchain based projects is changing everything.
Recently, a Idea is brewing among the intellectuals to reduce upcoming unemployments with Brain-as-a-Service (BaaS) along with Base Information System (BIS). BIS is a conceptual local hub with many technological equipments such as 3D printers, many computers with Internet, drones with pad to deliver end products to the locals etc. In poor countries, these days every village has at least one Telecommunication Tower known as Base Transceiver System (BTS) for mobile phone service even if they do not have any other technology. Therefore, a futuristic BIS can incorporate more advanced techs similar to present-day telecommunication tower.
BIS will also have lot of tasks where anybody can perform and earn Tokens. Users will use use their brain power to solve problems. BIS should able to provide part time but IMMEDIATE jobs to any number of people.
For example, it can be a task to tag images for an AI program. The bounty will be posted in Steem chain. People with low skills should able to perform the tasks. Jobs/Tasks will be created based on global virtual and physical demand through companies that are specialized in IT, 3D-printing, pattern recognition, VR/AR etc.
In upcoming automation, most of the repetitive and manual jobs will be eliminated. Even most of the corporations will be automated through DAOs. For example, Facebook, Youtube, Reddit and Instagram can be eliminated through 
We are early adopters of such technology. We are already seeing Steemians from all parts of the world earning Steem/SBD/TOKENs just by participating in contests or solving tasks. In future, we will see more adoption of DApps, DAOs and bots in Steem chain. And with convergence of technologies such as 5G, 3D-printing, AI, drones, robotics we will see a gigantic TOKEN based economy in Steem chain that interacts with these techs. Finally, the abundant (human) brain resources that are available due to connectivity and automation can be utilized by futuristic Steem based DAOs.
For example, anybody with large steem holding can develop a DApp for profit. He can outsource all the tasks through 
However, with more innovation and infrastructure, BasS, BIS, DAOs- all will just get better.
