It's also a prototype for a more general approach to handling disasters in the developing world.
That is a platform for handling the Routine Disaster of global poverty.
No way to get to that stuff without tools like EC2 or Mapreduce. We need massive compute and excellent software running on mobile devices to pull this off, and YC is the sort out community that is developing the tools we need.
So... yes, you're saving the world, in aggregate if not as individuals, just like the Unix guys were 30 years ago, and continue to do.
