Tanks as we know them are probably going away due to improved AT missiles and high tech stuff like robotic rail guns and particle weapons. But I suspect the tank will still be around with new ceramic and plastic armors and stealthy characteristics. They won't be clanking dinosaurs, I am betting they will be lighter, faster, stealthier, streamlined, low to the ground platforms.

It ain't going to happen anytime real soon. It's actually getting harder and harder for infantry to knock out a modern tank and the infantry weapons necessary to do it ussually require an entire squad to carry them. They're generally either mounted in a vehicle or delivered by a vehicle to a fixed position. It's not like WW2 where a single infantryman could knock out a panzer with a bazooka he was packing. The only way the Palestinians have been able to knock out the Israeli Merkava's is by burying hot water tanks full of explosives underneath the roadways.
