Is Google Losing Tomorrow's Tech Battle?

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which industrials editor and analyst Brendan Byrnes and consumer-goods editor and analyst Austin Smith discuss topics around the investing world.

In today's edition, Brendan and Austin discuss an up-and-coming technology, near field communications (NFC). A joint venture among heavy hitters Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile called Isis could potentially take this market by storm. Juniper estimates that NFC payments will reach $74 billion worldwide by 2015. This is a huge market, with many of the big tech players competing, including Google Wallet. Which companies will prove victorious?

In the future, NFC could be a big part of what we call the "trillion-dollar revolution."
