The role of the professional interpreter, seemingly timeless and universal is to convey verbal communications from one language to another accurately, in confidence and with impartiality. These principles appear to have been valid since the dawn of cross-cultural and interlingual verbal communications. Why should technology have an impact on the professional role, which is both agreed by professional interpreters, and expected by clients? This paper outlines, through literature review, of both Sign and Spoken language settings, the development of the role of interpreters across different settings and the deontology for the interpreting profession over time. This is then superimposed with the effect of technology, both its facilitation and pressures on its practice. The result highlights the intersection between interpreting studies and technology away from curriculum development. Rather than adopting technology wholesale, practitioners and researchers ought to become more aware of this increasingly important aspect and take appropriate actions. Resumen: El papel del interprete profesional, que pareciera ser eterno y universal, se basa en transmitir enunciados verbales de un idioma a otro de forma precisa, confidencial e imparcial. A estos principios se los ha considerado validos desde los albores de la comunicacion interlinguistica e intercultural. ?Por que deberia la tecnologia impactar en un papel profesional sobre el que los interpretes coinciden y que los clientes esperan? Mediante el analisis de publicaciones desarrolladas en el campo de las lenguas habladas y de la lengua de signos, este articulo intenta describir como evolucionan la funcion del interprete en diferentes escenarios y la deontologia de su profesion a lo largo del tiempo. A ello se le superponen posteriormente los efectos de la tecnologia, tanto en la forma en la que esta facilita la practica profesional como en las presiones que se generan de su uso. El resultado enfatiza la interseccion entre los estudios en interpretacion y tecnologias fuera del ambito del desarrollo curricular. En lugar de adoptar la tecnologia indiscriminadamente, los interpretes y los investigadores quiza deberian prestar mas atencion a un aspecto de importancia creciente en la practica profesional, asi como adoptar medidas adecuadas.
