I think distributed computing will go away soon. As computers become more powerful, the cost of "distributing" and transferring the data would be more than simply executing everything locally. Yes, you can still split the task amongst different nodes, or give different problems to different nodes, but the use-case would mostly be solving distinct problems on each note, that splitting the same task across multiple computers.
Also, with quantum computers, the parallelization/"distribution" of tasks will be done within the same machine, as it can try all solutions and the same time without having to do divide-et-impera algorithms.
Also, in the future, the algorithms will be a lot simpler, and just have FPGA-s like AI chips, where there is no software, the model is directly modelled in the hardware, so each computation is instant (just the time it takes to propagate the electrons or light through the circuit).
