The value in tanks is not their immunity to infantry. Tanks are a mobile
fire platform; Firepower, Shock Action, Manouvreability. These are what
tanks are for. As Andrew Martin points out, Infantry can be countered by
artillery, other infantry, mines, air attack etc etc. That is why
Combined
Arms is so powerful. 

No, tanks will quite likely have their uses for a long time to come.
Consider too that the tank will be able to reduce in size dependant on
its
role on the battlefield.
