The Oxford English Dictionary should provide what you need, although it's not free. Your library may have access.

And I was "online" in 1978 at a whopping 110 baud (back when baud existed.) The word had its current connect-to-remote-computer meaning well before 1989. That meaning may have narrowed to commonly reference the ubiquitous Internet, though.
At first I thought, "Mind control satellites? No way!" But now I can't remember how we lived without them.
