Deep learning is taking off because as the amount of data and computational power increases, deep learning algorithms perform better than traditional machine learning methods. 

You can improve performance by increasing the scale of the NN or giving it more data. Increasing the scale of the NN often places greater strain on technological systems. The more accessible route is taking advantage of the increase in available data.

If the basic technical ideas behind Deep Learning are around for decades, why are they taking off today?

Deep learning and its relationship with data

Which of these are reasons for Deep Learning recently taking off?

The curse of dimensionality states that as the number of dimensions (features) in the data increase, the number of categories of interest increases exponentially. This makes using machine learning on high dimensional data difficult.

For a data set with $d$ dimensions and $v$ values to be categorized for each dimension, $O(v^d)$ regions and examples are needed.
